Man I wish I could paint my car for 100 bux I remember when I did it like 12 years ago and I did all the body work my self paint clear buff. The paint cost 350 buxs for everthing and that was with a hookup from a friend. But if I had to cash in my time it would easily be a couple grand. but good luck with the 100 dollar paint job

I usually use Sherwin Williams paints which arent too bad price wise, but an average size car still cost around $300 to $500 in supplies. Too bad youre not closer or i could paint it for you. I charge somewhere in the neighborhood of 2-3k per job since im still learning.

Heres my most recent project. I honestly beleive you can get show quality results with less than top notch paint......as long as you know what you are doing.

You may not tell the difference now, but you will in 5-10 years.

i think if one keeps on top of the waxing/polishing with good quality products and keeps the car garaged it will last a lot longer than that.
What brand/products do you use?

Ive been using Sherwin Williams 4th Demension (Nason, Omni equivilant) for about 4 years now and everything Ive done so far has held up real nice, even in the heat and UV rays we get here in AZ. If thats not a test I dont know what is.

I have no reason to try that Nason junk, but I tried 4th dimension as a "freebie" favor for one of my friends and will never use it again,I painted a front bumper ,hood and a fender for his 01 Z28, it was black and took nearly 5 coats to get the coverage ,Ultra 7000 will cover in one coat, so if you do the math, the cheap junk will cost more,as you will need alot more of it ,plus the smell of that junk was just plain nasty,it's like I just stepped next door at MAACO paint booth
